> Stahl in "Essential Psychopharmacology" says it's the 5-HT2A receptors. Unfortunately, I don't have the book with me today at work, and I can't remember exactly what he says about the 5-HT2C receptors. I will try to remember to look it up when I get home.

He says stimulating these receptors has these side effects:

2A (limbic cortex) agitation, anxiety, panic
2A (spinal cord) orgasm dysfunction
2A (brain pleasure centers) loss of libido, apathy
2A (brainstem sleep centers) sleep disturbance, myoclonus
2A (basal ganglia) changes in motor movements, restlessness
2C (limbic cortex) agitation, anxiety, panic
2C (location not specified) reduced appetite
3 (hypothalamus) nausea
3 (brainstem) vomiting
3 & 4 (gastrointestinal tract) increased bowel motility, cramps, diarrhea
